Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Fontoura Xavier could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Fontoura Xavier in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
